From GIS to 3D Modeling

Two-dimensional representations of landscapes, in the form of maps, are incredibly powerful tools for GIS presentation and analysis. However, creating and printing 3D models of these landscapes allows for an added dimension of understanding of these surfaces. This workshop will teach you how to take a Digitial Elevation Model (DEM) raster file and create an object file that can be 3D printed in Catalyst Studios. 

This session will be offered in the Data Studios of the Main Library.

This workshop is an interactive workshop and requires a laptop computer and QGIS and Prusa Slicer software to be loaded before the workshop starts. Please note that QGIS and Prusa Slicer will run on Windows and Apple computers.
